IF, there is oil on the moon, and we DID go looking for it, it would not be a viable energy source onEarth as it would be too cost prohibitive to extract and return it to earth. it would only be usable there or to go beyond from there. Internal combustion engines would have little use on the airles...

We haven't left our own magnetosphere, and you guys are talking about inter-stellar and even inter-galactic travel as if you were planning a trip to Hawaii. Everything great has to begin with a discussion or else no one knows where to go. A trip to Mars...let alone Jupiter...wouldn't be great? :P :...

we are rotting - period There is nothing on the other side of the equal sign. The same as some say black holes suck/draw in material, what is happening to this material? Is it being perpetuity compressed? Is it going some other place? There is nothing on the other side of the equal sign. Different ...

To explore to go where no man has gone before, thats why we need to go at the speed of light and beyond. A baby is 2 weeks old. I think he's ready for the Iron Man competition.

We know that to get the galaxies to where they are today means that they had to exceed the speed of light many times over for a time. We do? :? Anyway, I was posting to add a link to an interesting article about dark matter and the expansion of the universe. Oh and here's another one. This one is a...

Re: Expanding Universe
Expanding Universe is a false statement. The dating and distant calculation is under question. If the Universe is "All" how can it expand within itself. Parts of the Universe may expand from themsleves in the overal process of recycling and this does not mean the universe is expanding. Ou...

Re: Night Sky, Backyard Astronomy for Everyone
Wow, I bought my first ever Night Sky magazine (Nov/Dec), still have not read a single article. Have to get past salivating at the telescopes. I have that problem too. Been thinking seriously about getting a new 'scope by next summer or so. I have been leaning toward an 8" or a 9.25" Schm...

Re: APOD 2005/11/04 colours of nebulae
" "preferentially reflecting the blue light" Yes, scattering is the correct term. That's not a clear statement at all. I would think that someone who didn't understand the phenomenon would be even more confused by that statement. But as usual, the accompanying links help clear things...

But, apparently no one wants to discuss anything that has to do with faster than light speed, or it's potential possibility. Everyone wants you to just accept the standard of the theory that it is not possible to travel faster than light. Oh, and have a nice day. :( Norval Star Wars and Star Trek a...

Re: Favorite APOD
just thought I would start a post about the subject. This Photo says a lot to me,including the dreams of Man to reach and understand the Stars,and Universe we live in. Grounded on Earth by the very Physical forces which exist throughout the Universe we nonetheless reach as far as we can using the p...
